Anyone had a problem where you're unable to view pictures on the stock gallery app? The thumbnails are blank, and when clicking on them a message saying "no thumbnails" is displayed, and the picture does not show. I can view pictures using a file manager, and Cool 3D gallery app.
This is on AOKP M5. I been using AOKP M5 and switching back and forth from the nightlies and M5. The only difference I've done this time is I deleted all the data on the SD card before flashing M5. The reason for me deleting is I noticed some app data was still left behind.
Anyone know how to fix this?
I haven't seen this problem on my Nexus but on my old phone if I deleted the .thumbnails folder in DCIM & restarted the phone the thumbnails were rebuilt.

Forgot to mention, I've already tried that. I also tried wiping cache and dalvik. I also transfered my Wallpaper folder from my computer to my phone, and the stock gallery does not display those pictures either.
i am having this same problem so i thought i'd just post here instead of making a new thread. i just posted this reply in another thread but i'm going to bump this one too since there are people having this problem and i don't think any of us have found a solution yet.
i was on AOKP M5 since it was released and the day CM9 RC1 came out i wiped data and flashed it. this is when i saw the problem. everything worked fine in AOKP M5.
i wasn't reallse happy with CM9 so i wiped data again and flashed liquidsmooth 1.5 and while i am enjoying it i am having this similar problem with the gallery. i have searched and searched and have found no solution for this bug.
when i go to gallery all the thumbnails are gray. when i click on a folder the thumbnails are still gray and when i click on a picture it says "no thumbnail." i wiped gallery in titanium backup and no dice. i also uninstalled and reinstalled the app through titanium backup. no dice once again so i just wiped data and did another fresh install of liquid and i am still having the problem.
i am able to take pictures and view them in quickpic but not in the gallery. i downloaded the es file explorer showed hidden files and deleted the .thumbnail folder (it was already empty) in the DCIM folder. the gallery repopulated but the thumbnails were still gray. for now i am using the quickpic app for my gallery since it is able to show thumbnails.
i just installed this liquid 1.5 on my friend's GN and the first thing i did was take some pics so i could view them in his gallery and he doesn't seem to have the bug. everything works as it should. is this bug just random or was it because his phone just had his bootloader unlocked and was "fresh" for the new rom being installed? in CWM i wiped data/factory reset so i didn't dirty flash. whatever the case i hope this is fixed in the JB version of roms. i really don't want to flash a factory image and start all over.
if anyone has a solution or an idea on how i might try and fix it PLEASE post it. thank you so much.
No Picasa Images are displayed under Gallery
Hi,
I am on stock ICS 4.0.4(reverted from JB by applying stock images from google).
I have synced all my google data with my device. But whenever I open the stock Gallery app, I can see a thumbnail preview of all my Camera photos properly. The gallery even lists all of my Picasa albums correctly but no thumbnail preview is shown. If I enter into any of these album no preview is displayed.
Some resolutions i tried:
1. I have cleared cache, cleared data and force stopped gallery and then again started as that was advised in some threads
2. I even removed ".Thumbnail" directory and restarted but no luck.
3. I have downloaded "Just Pictures" app and it properly displays my Picasa albums along with the thumbnail preview.
But I love my stock gallery.(Please do not suggest Quickpic alternative).
Attached is the screenshot of my gallery app.
Any advice?
I'll suggest to reflash the firmware - clean install + I hope u have a good internet connection too !!

Instead of re flashing the entire FW can I uninstall and install the only the gallery app? If so could you please let me know where can I get that apk?
At present not in a position to re install ROM and fiddle with the set up I have in my GNex!

Hello there. I'm having an issue with gallery. I manually moved over a picture to the virtual sd card, but gallery doesn't pick it up. It doesn't matter where I put it, the root, Pictures, even the folder where the nexus places photos taken from the camera. I can see it in a file explorer and can even open with gallery from there. But if I open the gallery app the picture is nowhere to be found.
I've tried deleting gallery's cache but to no avail. I'm on the Android Revolution HD 2.1.4 rom. Is anybody with the stock rom having this problem, or have any suggestions?
Thanks!

Try rebooting, it worked for me before
I was on 4.0.2 and my drivers weren't allowing me today to transfer anything to SD card when using my USB on computer i went to gummy 4.0.3 reloaded the drivers restarted computer and working flawlessly

Thanks for the replies, I've tried rebooting, no luck. My problems aren't with moving things to the virtual sd card, but viewing the pictures in gallery after I've done so
This has happened to me with music files. Rebooting the phone after I have copied/moved the files in the designated folder fixes the visibility issue for me
Ever since i installed one of the new JB ROMS, my Gallery won't sync with pics I copy to any folder on my SDCARD. If I reboot the phone, they'll show up. I reverted back to an ICS ROM and the problem persist. Any ideas?
That is why I posted this

Thanks for that post. I installed the updated gapps package referred to in your link. I then copied some pics to a folder on my SD card. They didn't show up in the gallery. I rebooted the phone and there they were. Unfortunately, your fix didn't work for me.
Sorry I misread your post. You have a different problem. Have you tried clearing data from the Gallery?
I've been having weird gallery issues as well. Check out SDRescan. This will force the media scanning service to kick off. It helped me with re-populating the gallery.
Also you can also clear data on 'Media Storage' but that will wipe out all your ringtone/notification settings.

Thanks! SDRescan does the trick (a workaround until this is resolved).

From what I read this was a problem with an update ROM manager got that is now fixed. Some people said that installing PowerAmp from the Play store fixed this issue. Personally, I deleted the file called ".nomedia" from the ROOT of the SD card and then copied my media folders (pictures and music) to my laptop. I then deleted those same folders from the phone and then copied them back to the phone and everything shows up fine. Hope this helps you!
Still more new threads! lol :cyclops:
I just installed the latest Jellybean Rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1605016
And everything works great (with exception to the camera issues they identified as a known issue). One thing is irking me though. My old pics are not displaying.
I tried doing the recommended steps in this thread with no luck
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1862523
I would post to either of these two threads but alas, my permissions do not allow.
I appreciate any feedback or solution to this issue.
There's various steps in various posts in that thread, which did you try?
I know either ROM Manager and/or ClockworkMOD Recovery had a .nomedia issue in the past so, make sure both are updated if you use them (or uninstall them if you don't). Additionally, most ROMs have a "rescan media" function (no clue where it is in JB but, it was in Dev Tools in GB).

The steps near the end
Update -
After clearing cache/data of gallery and media storage and rebooting, Gallery ran its scan for some time and now it is showing all images. So, that's the solution.

I just uninstalled Rom Manager but it is still on my phone (it was part of the ROM that I installed).
I also tried to re-update with no luck.
Also noteworthy, when I take a new picture it shows in the gallery. When I use file explorer to browse to the location the new image is stored I can verify that it is in the same folder as all of the other pics that for some reason are not showing up.
I am trying the suggestions here now

There is no .noimage file in the root of my phone. I then cleared cache and dalvik / fix permissions. I have forced gallery closed and cleared all data both in gallery and in media storage, reboot the phone.
No luck yet.
Your ROM is CM based, you should have an app called Dev Tools; run that and select Media Scanner and let it run; otherwise try https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.addz.mediascanner

Thank you for this feedback. I have tried both Dev Tools and Media Scanner. It did not have any effect.
Would the quantity of images and videos have an effect? I have a lot? I doubt it but I am running out of ideas. I appreciate any other feedback. Thank you.
Maybe you have some corrupted image or video on your SD card.
Try to backup all your media files on your computer. Then erase all media files on SD card and add only one picture. Check if the gallery is working. If this picture is there, then you have to find which file is causing the issue.
Add all media files to SD card in some small steps. For example if you have 1000 images, add only first 100 of them. Check if the gallery is working. If it’s working, add next 100 images. If the gallery stops working, remove last 100 images and add only 50. And so on, you get the idea. This way you can identify the corrupted file(s).
PS: Maybe you are wondering why I hit your ”thanks” button That was only a mistake
So I removed all pics and vids and a funny thing happened. It picked up pics in two folders within the DCIM folder. I tried adding a hundred pics back to the camera folder and nothing. I deleted all but a video and nothing. I will test more when my son goes to bed. So weird.

if all else fails this is the best gallery app for android... although never tested it for jb but it works amazing on gingerbread and ics
Not too sure what's happened. But I'm rooted, on the stock radio, but using at the moment the All Star 4.1.2 ROM. But even when using the Jedi ROMS, all of the jpegs i'd either download, or transfer onto my phone will not show up in the gallery.
Perfect example is when I downloaded the Nexus 4 wallpapers from the dump, then transfered onto my internal SD card, opened Gallery, showed items but no contents. In other words, it would state 14 items, but each thumbnail had a question mark through it, nothing would happen when I click on one of them.
This happened through two different ROMS.

Have you tried using the ex card instead for your pictures etc. I use both so I don't lose all my stuff flashing roms.
It isn't a matter of losing data. I could transfer an image to my phone via CWM or mass storage while the phone is on. But when I go to the gallery, the items appear, but I can't click on them and the thumbnails show up blank.
I just went back to a 4.0.4 ROM so i'll see if that fixed anything.

If not try this gallery apk
Downloading now, I'll see what happens.
You can try one of the Media scanner apps in the Play Store to force a re-scan.
